"mornings on 2" starts now. well, good morning. i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. it's wednesday, february 6th. we begin with continuing coverage of a deadly crime in

rural west sonoma county. sheriff deputies are still on the scene of a triple homicide. officers found the bodies of three men inside a small home in forestville. ktvu's claudine wong joins us live from outside of the home to let us know what sheriff deputies reveal. it's not much, is it, claudine? >> reporter: no. we're still waiting for more information. this investigation still getting underway. we do have daylight now so we can give you an idea of where this happened. behind me, that's the mobile command center that's parked at the neighbor's home. there are some neighbors here. we're gonna walk you down the driveway. there's only one way in and out of this home. you can see the crime scene tape is up as we walk you up the driveway that goes from asphalt to dirt. there are two sheriff deputy cars that we can see from our

vantage point. and you can see the car way off in the distance there. we know this area has been busy through yesterday afternoon. let's take you through what we know from police. police tell us that the three men were found shot to death in a back bedroom of the small home. apparently, the brother of one of the victims was looking for him yesterday after not being able to get ahold of him on the phone for a few hours. they ended up at this home on roth station road. that's when they called police. as far as what happened, we don't know. but police say this does not appear to be random. >> there did not appear to be a struggle. they died of gunshot wounds. >> kind of an execution style? >> i'm not gonna discuss that? >> a murder-suicide at all? >> no, it's not a murder- suicide. >> reporter: but what it is,

well, that's still unclear. from newschopper2, another look at the area where you can see -- so you can see where this house is located. obviously, because it's set back a little bit, it's unclear how much could be heard. there are reports that neighbors heard commotion earlier in the day but it was a popping noise, burning something. we're still trying to get confirmation on that. when our crew left late last night, we're told the coroner would be here sometime today. when we arrived about 4:00 this morning, we're told maybe the coroner had already come and gone. it's been very quiet here and we'll keep you updated on "mornings on 2." live in sonoma county, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. the u.s. postal office is announcing a proposal to stop saturday mail service as a way to cut costs. let's listen in. >> a financial loss of $15.9

billion. by any measure that's unsustainable and unacceptable. another $15.9 billion loss, another 11 was due to the amount we were obligated to pay the treasury to fund retirement benefits. we had to default on those payments because we did not have the funds. the postal service is expected to operate like a business. we generate all of our revenue from the sale of postal -- postage. we take no tax dollars. but we don't have the ability to reduce costs in a way that a private business would. we're at the end our borrowing authority. to give some perspective of our liquidity, a typical business would have cash on their hands, two months of cash to dover operating cost -- cover operating costs. in october, we had less than

four days of cash on hand. that's a very scary situation and no situation a business should be in. that's why we've taken these aggressive steps. while we've been so vocal about seeking about -- >> once again, you've been listening live to a press conference underway by the u.s. postal service. they are announcing they will no longer deliver first-class letters on saturday, starting august 1st. but they will continue to deliver packages and mendcations. this plan -- pledcations. this plan is -- medications. the postal service lost $16 billion last year. they still have a lot of work to do to save more money. our washington, d.c. newsroom is monitoring this postal service press conference. coming up at 7:15, we will find out more information from exactly what the -- what the cuts are the postal service is proposing and what will not

close working relationship with the u.s. to criticize saudi leaders. some members of congress are looking to limit the government's authority to use the unmanned drones to kill suspected terrorists. it follows the release of a new report from the justice department that says it would be lawful to target and even kill a u.s. citizen if the person is suspected of being a terrorist. 7:16. just minutes ago -- you saw it live -- the u.s. postal service officially announced plans to stop saturday mail deliveries. kyla campbell is live in our washington, d.c. bureau to tell us how soon these changes will take place. kyla? >> reporter: well, the postal service plans to eliminate the saturday delivery of first- class mail starting the week of august 5th. we'll take a live look at the press conference. it continues at this moment. the services will consist of six days of package delivery and five days of mail delivery.

the postal service says packages, medicine and priority mail will still be delivered on saturday. the u.s. postal service has been hemorrhaging billions of dollars a year. they've tried to cut costs. in past, the congress argued that they needed their approval to cancel this. but lawyers say they found a way around this. and the move to pay $2 billion a year. >> since 2008, we've seen a steady decline in the use of u.s. first-class mail. but people pay their bills online. it's simple, easy, free. >> reporter: we'll hear more on how the postal service plans to move forward with these changes when i see you next. live in washington, d.c., kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. coming up at 7:32. ktvu's brian flores is out. he will tell you how bay area people are reacting this

ken salazar. reportedly, the president will nominate business executive sally jewel. she's ceo of the outdoors company rei. jewel is the first woman to be nominated for his second cabinet. president obama is expected to make a personnel announcement at 11:00 a.m. this morning at the white house. it appears that lance armstrong's televised apology did not sway uncle sam. government prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation of the disgraced cyclist. last month, lance armstrong confessed to oprah that he took performance-enhancing drugs to win his sixth tour de france titles. he also said he bullied his teammates to help cover up his doping. federal agents are now investigating armstrong for obstruction, witness tampering and intimidation. back here at home, richmond is in the running for a big grant from the u.s. department of justice. six cities from all over the country will be given $1 million each. richmond city council approved

it was reportedly hit by a minivan. >> you got the call that the camel was out and it was your job to corral it, what were you thinking? >> you probably don't want to know that. [laughter] >> i don't know. it was different. just wanted dash it's one to put on my resume -- it's one of those things i want to put on my resume. >> they speculates the wire and enclosure was cut and rudy got out. a vet will be checking rudy out but the wrangler doesn't think the camel was hurt. >> pretty unusual traffic problem there. let's check in with sal and see what's happening around the bay area. there is a fire near third and williams in redwood city causing problems. >> yes, it has the fire department there. pg&e just showed up. it doesn't look like the fire was really -- it didn't destroy the building but it certainly did call a lot of fire units to the scene. third and williams, third in redwood city, it's a good area to avoid for the time being.

police have blocked off the streets nearby. you can't get through. that's the sheriff blocking off the streets. let's take a look at the commute at the toll plaza. that's a 15-minute delay. once you get on the bridge, another ten minutes into san francisco. just got a tweet from brandy rayhill. if you know her, tell her that southbound 680 is a mess because there's a crash. boys, if you can put the maps out there. southbound 680 at treat boulevard, there's a crash. that's why traffic is really bad from concord. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. mostly clear. cold. we lose the cloud cover. temperatures are down a good 10 degrees. i just heard from william tweety in vallejo, he said 36. yesterday, 46. that seems to be the consensus, about 10 degrees. highs will be in the 50s and then we'll look to the north because it looks like we'll get some rain in here tomorrow. not a lot. just a little bit. clear, patchy fog. it will be sunny today. breezy nice. in between systems, there goes one from yesterday. had a lot of low clouds. the next system coming down from the north.

i mean, temperatures here in the 30s and 40s. it will get even colder, especially friday night into saturday. just giving au little lead time. you will feel it. today, nice, in the sun, in the shade, maybe a little cool but we cloud it up tomorrow, bring in light rain and then much, much cooler. sunday looks pretty good. breezy. but lows back in the upper 20s. 7:27. boy, an 8.0 earthquake triggered a tsunami in the solomon islands. we have the latest information from the rescue crews and other countries have been affected. people have started coming by this memorial here in fairfield for a 13-year-old girl. we'll have their reaction. and whether it's bills or greeting cards, you will have one less day to have them delivered. we'll talk more about the big announcement by the u.s. postal service and have more reaction from bay area residents as "mornings on 2" continues. ao

it is 7:30. as we've been reporting, big changes were just announced by the u.s. postal service this morning. the big news is an end to most saturday mail delivery. ktvu channel 2 reporter brian flores is out talking to people in oakland this morning about the proposed changes. what are people telling you, brian? >> reporter: good morning. people really are not too surprised about the news. the postal service has been touting this for months.

they've been making cuts on hours and certain jobs as well as raising postal rates. as kyla cam bet reported earlier, yes, they will be cutting saturday mail delivery but at the same time continue to deliver packages, male-order medicine and -- mail-order medicine and priority mail will still be delivered. package delivery has actually increased 14% since 2010. but despite that, the postal service says the cuts are essentially needed. it will save the agency, $2 billion. there was a press conference talking about that. but these changes won't take effect until august. we talked to some bay area residents. for the most part many say that saturday delivery won't affect them too bad but i also posed the question, could this be the end of the service? >> i don't think we'll see the end of it. it's just not gonna be what we're used to. you get a lot of advertising

out of it. they may have to change the way they do business. >> i think it's heading in that direction. my own opinion is that with the electronic devices, phones, everything has been done mostly electronically. i don't get as many bills anymore because of that, because i get, you know, just the waste of paper. >> reporter: and the postal service pretty much agrees that people nowadays are just using the internet e-mail to take care of these activities. some businesses are not happy. the greeting card association which includes hallmark and american greetings, they oppose the move, the fear was that it matrikle down to three or four- day a week of delivery service but has not gotten to that point. it will just be five days now for a mail delivery service that's expected to take place in august. coming up on "mornings on 2," we'll here more reaction from
